Reviews
“The editors and the publisher of this timely volume should be congratulated for their initiative to introduce to the international community of discourse studies these original contributions from Latin America and the Caribbean. Latin America in particular, has been among the most active regions of discourse studies in the world, having established its first international association of discourse studies as early as 1995. The transdisciplinary studies collected here offer unique perspectives combining many types of discourse analysis, e.g., multimodal and corpus linguistic approaches, with critical social and cultural analyses, e.g. of democracy after dictatorships, slavery, poverty, (post)colonialism, national identity, (anti)racism, migration, peace processes, student movements, populism, creolization and ethnic minority resistance, among many other relevant topics. These contributions uniquely show how sophisticated analyses of text and talk offer advanced qualitative methods, still largely ignored in the social sciences, for the study of social issues.” (Teun A. van Dijk, Pompeu Fabra University and Centre of Discourse Studies, Barcelona, Spain)
